Kevin Feige Confirms DEADPOOL 3 Will Be Rated R and Will Be Set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Collider’s Steve Weintraub recently spoke with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige in anticipation of Marvel’s first Disney+ series
Wandavision, and during their conversation Feige gave a promising update on
Deadpool 3, revealed when filming will begin, and most importantly, confirmed the sequel
will be part of the MCU.
That’s right. When
Deadpool 3 happens, it won’t be as some tangentially related property with a couple of jokes about the MCU. Ryan Reynolds’ foul-mouthed mercenary is officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and he’ll be keeping his R-rating. Feige said sisters Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin and Wendy Molyneux are hard at work on the script with Reynolds overseeing, but
Deadpool 3 filming won’t begin until 2022 at the earliest:
“It will be rated R and we are working on a script right now, and Ryan’s overseeing a script right now… It will not be [filming] this year. Ryan is a very busy, very successful actor. We’ve got a number of things we’ve already announced that we now have to make, but it’s exciting for it to have begun. Again, a very different type of character in the MCU, and Ryan is a force of nature, which is just awesome to see him bring that character to life.”
This is an exciting update. Obviously Feige and Co. have their hands full production-wise, as they’re in the midst of filming
Thor 4 and
Spider-Man 3, and this year will also begin filming
Doctor Strange 2,
Black Panther 2, and
Captain Marvel 2. So
Deadpool 3 won’t be hopping onto the dance card until 2022, meaning the film probably won’t hit theaters until 2023 at the earliest.
